Yes, that what wat I was thinking too. Although I have never used
default menu entries so far.

I think what you mean must be the "workspace manager window" although
for me it does have a title bar, and it displays the windows in each
workspace as miniature windows inside it. Which I like a lot. Maybe you
have it in a NoTitle {} block? Press the Control key while the window is
focused to change mode between mini-windows and buttons (or the setting
StartInMapState).

The menu is what you get when you put

    "Workspaces"        f.menu "TwmWorkspaces"

in one of your menus. No need to define TwmWorkspaces.
There are also TwmAllWindows, TwmVisible, TwmIcons, TwmAllIcons and
TwmKeys.
